The Air U Trampoline Park is huge for Greenville. Pretty much any parents with young children in Greenville will tell you, there is really very little to do with them when the temperature drops...or really at all that dosen't involve paying team sports.

I've driven to Raleigh multiple times to go to Sky Zone, it's going to awesome to have one here. Kudos to whomever finally had the money to do this. I think it will be very successful. I imagine it's the same people who operate ECCats if they are going to stick it way out there.

It's a good first step towards getting more entertainment in town for children. The science museum uptown will be good in probably 5 - 10 years when they have time to expand towards their full plan, until then it'll be a little rinky dink I imagine but better than nothing. Too bad there is no Marbles Museum type place here.

The lazer tag place is great, but I'm afraid for their future because of their prices. They are a bit high for me to warrent going more than once on occasion.

I can't believe that ancient building is worth $1.6 mil!

It ain't cheap to pay a national bank to close up shop.

Here's some more:

BOUNDARY INVESTORS PURCHASE ENTIRE CITY BLOCK IN THE UPTOWN DISTRICT.

January 9, 2015


Boundary investors purchase entire City Block in the Uptown district.

Uptown Greenville reached record levels of investment in 2014 with the Uptown Parking Deck, the CommunitySmith Superblock project, and The Boundary at West End development, among many others. As the dawn of 2015 breaks, investment and development in the district only continues.

Uptown Greenville | Boundary investors purchase entire City Block in the Uptown district.

Its the land that has real value, not the building. It is surrounded by good streets and infrastructure, across from a major park and has the ability to serve a mixed use. THIS is what Greenville has been waiting for, development companies to realize the potential of downtown. I would bet the building with Rivers & Assoc would be on the market soon enough as well and then you have the blocks that ECU owns and is planning to redevelop. The SECU building site could be re-developed and finally the Post Office site...which that Post Office is ugly to begin with (unlike the one in say Downtown Wilmington). Not sure how you go about getting the Post Office to redevelop, but that is an important block.

I don't ever see the US post office willing to lift a finger to that decrepit building. Probably a better chance of relocation than them ever fixing that place up.

The article is locked now to subscribers but was open when I posted it last night. It says the building + land is valued at 2.48mil and the building itself is valued at 1.6mil. I know that's tax value but still, it sounds outrageous.

This is HUGE news for the Uptown district. It would be interesting to see if something like a Condominium built for Young Professional/Empty nesters would succeed there. As a portion of the total development.
